Mechanical Parts and Control Parts of Turnstile Gates
Mechanical parts and control parts together define the real performance level of a turnstile gate system. Many buyers evaluate turnstiles mainly by appearance or price, but experienced integrators know that internal structure and control architecture determine long-term stability, safety, and maintenance cost.
Mechanical parts focus on physical movement and load-bearing, including the structural frame and turnstile mechanism, while control parts manage logic, authorization, and safety response. When these two systems are well matched, a turnstile gate can operate smoothly for years even under high traffic conditions.
Turnstile Components Explained in Detail
Turnstile Chassis
The turnstile chassis makes the base structure of the whole turnstile gate system. A solid chassis guards the inside parts. It also keeps mechanical steadiness over time.
Most turnstile systems use precisely made stainless steel chassis. They come from 304 or 316 grade material. This gives rust resistance for inside and outside spots. The chassis build also thinks about water resistance, a dust guard, and simple upkeep. This matters for transport centers and outdoor setups.
Turnstile Mechanism
The turnstile mechanism is the core mechanical system that controls opening and closing actions. This mechanism directly affects smoothness, noise level, and service life.
A typical turnstile mechanism includes the drive motor, transmission shaft, reducer, electromagnet, and optocoupler boards. KARSUN turnstile mechanisms are engineered with high-precision transmission components to minimize wear and maintain consistent motion accuracy over time.
In products such as the KARSUN turnstile JSTD3263-22 Efficient Entry Management Tripod Turnstile, the internal mechanism is optimized for rapid rotation recovery and stable torque output, making it suitable for subway stations and high-throughput entrances.
Turnstile Controller
The turnstile controller acts as the brain of the turnstile gate system. It processes signals from sensors, access readers, and external systems, then issues precise control commands to motors and locks.
Modern turnstile controllers rely on microprocessor-based logic, allowing flexible configuration for one-way or two-way access, timed passage control, counting functions, and power-off safety behavior. KARSUN turnstile controllers are designed to support stable operation even in complex access environments.
In advanced models like the KARSUN turnstile Flap Barrier Turnstile Gate JS-Y003, the controller enables fast signal processing and seamless integration with ticketing and access control systems.
Infrared Sensor
Infrared sensors hold a key role in turnstile safety and anti-pinch guard. These sensors spot people nearby. They stop unsafe close actions.
Strong turnstile systems often place several pairs of infrared photoelectric sensors. This tracks motion with care. KARSUN turnstiles use well-placed sensors. They ensure detection for various body sizes, walking paces, and bag cases.
This safety setup matters most for speed gates and flap barrier systems in airports and office halls.
Blocking Rod
The blocking rod is the physical barrier that manages pedestrian flow. Its design must balance strength, safety, and aesthetics.
Blocking rods can take the form of tripod arms, swing panels, flap wings, or full-height rotating bars. Materials commonly include stainless steel, tempered glass, or high-strength acrylic. KARSUN turnstile blocking components are engineered to withstand impact while minimizing injury risk in abnormal situations.
Control Module
The control module integrates the electronic subsystems that manage turnstile logic and motor control. This module coordinates power supply, signal processing, and lock control.
Depending on system complexity, control modules may use standard microcontrollers or higher-performance ARM processors. KARSUN turnstile solutions select a control architecture based on real project requirements, ensuring responsiveness without unnecessary system complexity.
This modular approach simplifies maintenance and supports future system upgrades.
Auxiliary Modules
Auxiliary modules extend the functional capabilities of turnstile gates. These modules allow turnstile systems to adapt to different operational needs.
Typical auxiliary modules include displays, counters, alarms, voice prompts, and permission input devices.
Display Module
The display module provides visual guidance and operational feedback to users. LED arrows, status icons, and text prompts help reduce confusion and improve traffic efficiency.
Display modules are commonly used in office buildings, transportation terminals, and event venues where clear guidance is essential.
Counting Module
The counting module records pedestrian flow data and supports traffic analysis. This module can display real-time counts or integrate with backend systems for reporting.
In high-traffic installations, counting modules help facility managers optimize staffing and access policies.
Pedestrian Detection Module
The pedestrian detection module determines whether a person is passing legally and safely through the gate. This module combines hardware sensors with software algorithms.
For scenarios that require faster passage speed and stricter anti-tailgating logic, the High Speed Gate JS-STM011 highlights how advanced pedestrian detection modules work together with motion control algorithms. By coordinating multi-point infrared sensing with real-time movement analysis, this high speed gate improves detection accuracy while maintaining smooth, uninterrupted pedestrian flow in office headquarters and transportation hubs.
Alarm Module
The alarm module alerts operators to abnormal conditions such as unauthorized entry, forced passage, or system faults. Alarm signals may include sound, light, or system notifications.
Proper alarm configuration improves site security while avoiding unnecessary disturbances during normal operation.
Voice Prompt Module
The voice prompt module provides audible guidance, such as access confirmation or entry instructions. This feature is useful in public venues where visual cues alone may not be sufficient.
Permissions Input Module
The permissions input module allows the turnstile to receive authorization signals. Common input methods include card readers, QR code scanners, biometric devices, and push buttons.
Integration Modules
Integration modules connect turnstile gates with external systems such as access control, ticketing, and attendance management platforms. This integration expands application scenarios and improves operational efficiency.
